Israeli Ambassador Slams State Dept Over Criticism: ‘You Just Don’t Know All The Facts’ [VIDEO]

Ron Dermer, Israel’s ambassador to the United States, unequivocally rejected the State Department spokeswoman’s condemnation of a “disgraceful” Israeli strike on a U.N. school, claiming she “just [doesn’t] know all the facts” and accusing her of a “rush to judgment.”

Dermer reacted furiously to the State Department accusation while speaking to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “It was a rush to judgment,” he charged. “You just don’t know all the facts. This has happened a number of times, where people say certain things about Israeli actions without actually knowing all the facts. And this is another one of those cases.”

“In the same statement it was said that we shelled that facility,” he continued. “Obviously we didn’t shell the facility. We didn’t actually hit the facility at all. This was a targeted airstrike against three Islamic Jihad terrorists that were on a motorcycle.”

Dermer added that the Israeli Defense Force is investigating why civilian casualties occurred, but that it was a targeted strike not meant to hit the school.

“I just saw your interview with the U.N. official that came before,” the ambassador said angrily. “I didn’t hear him mention that 3 U.N. schools were used actually to house and store rockets.”
